Abstract

This study presented a deep learning based markerless motion capture workflow and
evaluated performance against marker-based motion capture during overground running.
Multi-view high speed (200 Hz) image data were collected concurrently with marker-based
motion capture (ground-truth data) permitting a direct comparison between methods. Lower
limb kinematic data for six participants demonstrated high levels of agreement for lower
limb joint angles with average RMSE ranging between 2.5° - 4.4° for hip sagittal and frontal
plane motion, and 4.2° - 5.2° for knee and ankle motion. These differences generally fall
within the known uncertainties of marker-based motion capture, suggesting that our
markerless approach could be used for appropriate biomechanics applications. While there
is a need for high quality open-access datasets to further facilitate performance
improvements, markerless motion capture technology continues to improve; presenting
exciting opportunities for biomechanics researchers and practitioners to capture large
amounts of high quality, ecologically valid data both in and out of the laboratory setting.
